Emily Herrett

My undergraduate degree was in Biology and I completed a Masters in Epidemiology at LSHTM in 2007, and my PhD in 2013. Since then I have worked at LSHTM, where my research focuses on observational and interventional cardiovascular disease epidemiology. I’m currently working on three main projects: (i) a British Heart Foundation funded project to explore the impact of the media on use of statins in UK primary care using the Clinical Practice Research Datalink, (ii) a NIHR HTA funded trial investigating the side effects of statins, and (iii) a project investigating blood pressure, age and sex, lipid levels and absolute cardiovascular risk in their abilities to predict subsequent cardiovascular disease.
